[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1453249, member: 56379"] Sounds good…I just wanted to make sure your older computer met the hardware requirements for Mountain Lion (ML). There would have been no need for us to pursue ML if the computer can't run it. Regarding your original question. Your new 15" MacBook Pro (MBP) came with ML preinstalled on it (as it should have). My interpretation would be that since technically you didn't really purchase ML from the Mac App Store (MAP)…you would need to pay the $19 bucks to download & install ML on your older MBP from the MAP. But…after you paid the $19 for ML (for the older MBP)…then (according to this article) you can install ML on any other ML capable Mac's in your household: [url=http://osxdaily.com/2012/07/26/install-upgrade-os-x-mountain-lion-multiple-macs/]Install & Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion on Multiple Macs with a Single Purchase[/url] HTH, - Nick p.s. This of course would also apply to the new MBP…if for some reason you ever needed to reinstall ML on that computer.:) [/QUOTE]
